KALAMAZOO COUNTY, Mich. — Both lanes on southbound US-131 at 94 are closed as a result of an accident, according to the Kalamazoo County Dispatch Authority.

The City of Portage says public safety units discovered that a gold Honda had rolled over in the center median upon arrival.

The City of Portage says another occupant, the Honda driver’s 6-year-old child, sustained minor injuries in the crash. They say the child was also taken to the hospital as a precaution.

The crash is currently under investigation.
